Operating Philosophy

Flytec’s philosophy is to produce user-friendly instruments. When you turn on the instrument the instrument will go through a self test and proceed to the Run-Mode. A quick press of each key in the Run-Mode lets you access the main functions of the instrument. Hold a key down for about three seconds to call up Set-Mode for that function. From there, a further three-second press will call up Option-Mode for that key.
In Set-Mode and Option-Mode, the keys labeled
START/STOP/RESET and CLEAR-ALT become Arrow Keys. With
these you can change the display fields, which flash to indicate they are changeable. After making changes in Set-Mode, use a short press to return to Run-Mode, or wait three seconds.

Run-Mode

During normal use the instrument is in Run-Mode. In this mode the instrument shows analog and digital sink/climb rate, airspeed (if the optional sensor is plugged in), temperature, altitude, altitude difference, time, battery condition and the activated acoustic signals.
In Run-Mode you can call up the following direct functions by briefly pressing the keys:
• volume of the vario acoustic
• sink alarm on/off
• alternate between two barometric altitude displays (ALT1/ALT2)
• reset altitude difference (ALT3)
• stop watch start/stop/reset
• change between

Set-Mode

To enter Set-Mode for a given key, press and hold the key for about three seconds. The SET indicator will appear in the lower portion of the display. The relevant display field will flash and can be altered with the Arrow Keys. After making your changes, either wait three seconds or use a short press to return to Run-Mode. A three-second press when in Set­Mode will take you to Option-Mode. The functions that can be set within the SET mode are discussed in the sections of this manual that pertain to the relevant key, or they can be found in the Function Overview at the end of this manual.

Option-Mode

When in Set-Mode, press and hold the same key again for three seconds to bring the instrument into Option-Mode. The OPT indicator will appear in the lower portion of the display. Here you can change the settings of various values (see more details below). Again, the relevant field will flash and can be altered with the arrow keys. Use a short press on the same key to accept your changes and go on to the next option; when you reach the last option a short press will cycle the instrument back to the first option. When you are finished setting the options, wait eight seconds and the instrument will return automatically to Run-Mode.

The Startup Screen shows the serial number, the battery condition and the date. The analog scale on the left shows the battery charge.

Switching the Instrument OFF

To switch the instrument OFF press and hold the
TIME/CHRONO/MEMO Key for about seven seconds.
While you are holding the TIME/CHRONO/MEMO
ey,the Set Menu for time will appear if an actual flight
k
has not been recognized by the instrument (refer to section on Flight acceptance page 19. Continue to hold the key down while the instrument counts down from 3 to 1. You will hear a beep and see OFF appear on the display when the process is complete.
The 6005/10 will automatically power down if no flight activities are detected within 60 minutes of power on. This time period can be altered on the 6010 with FlyChart.

6 Operating Instructions Flytec 6005/6010 The Altimeter

How does an altimeter function?

A barometric altimeter calculates altitude (elevation) from the actual air pressure of the atmosphere at a given location. Air pressure decreases with increasing elevation, however, since air is compressible, the pressure change is exponential not linear. Altimeters designed for aviation use the CINA (Commision International de Navigation Aérienne) formula to derive altitude from air pressure. In this calculation the CINA– atmosphere is used where standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1013.25 hPa (Hecto-pascal) at a temperature of 15°C. Temperature also decreases with increasing altitude and must also be considered in the altitude calculation. A constant temperature decrease of 0.65°C per 100m ascent is also assumed in the CINA equation. Because of these assumptions with respect to pressure and temperature a barometric aviation altimeter only indicates the actual altitude when the weather conditions correspond to the standard atmosphere and lapse rate. In reality the atmosphere rarely corresponds to the CINA standards.
The weight of the atmosphere and its corresponding pressure, are appreciably affected by air temperature. If the temperature of the atmosphere deviates from standard atmosphere, the altitude computed with the international formula is not correct. Altitudes will be shown lower than actual in the summer and higher than actual in the winter. A deviation of 1°C per 1000m will result in approximately a 4m error in altitude. For example, if a pilot sets his altimeter on a warm summer day where the air temperature is 16ºC warmer than standard atmosphere and then changes altitude 2000m, his altimeter will show 2 x 4m (per 1000m) x 16ºC = 128m lower than actual!
To further complicate matters, the air pressure over a given location changes will change as weather systems move across the area. In order to compensate for pressure changes induced by changes in the weather an altimeter must be adjusted prior to each flight. This can be done by setting the altimeter to a know elevation (e.g., Launch). Another method of setting an altimeter is to enter the current QNH pressure value. The QNH is the barometric pressure at a measuring station reduced to sea-level. If an altimeter was set to the QNH at a measuring station (regardless of elevation) and then brought to sea-level it would read zero. The QNH value is constantly updated and can be obtained from flight service stations and can be requested from airfields over an aeronautical radio. Keep in mind that the atmospheric pressure can change up to five millibars over the course of a day, such as with the passage of a cold front, corresponding to a change in elevation of more than 40 meters.

modeindicating that they can be set; use the arrow keys to adjust your current altitude/QNH. Note that the QNH changes as the altitude changes, consequently if your current altitude is unknown it can be set by setting the QNH available from weather reporting stations or flight service. Important: ALT1 set is only available if The 6005/10 has not recognized the beginning of a flight (flight acceptance).
ALT1 can only be adjusted to current absolute height, and cannot be adjusted more or less than 3,000 feet of the current displayed height.
